It was the time when dogs were swept away from the street, and people started to seek their own prosperity. But anyone that went against the social stream were oppressed and forgotten by society.

The riots were over and became just a part of history. The government offi cials had completely oppressed and annihilated the opposition. However, this lead to another battle against the elite security unit that is known as “Kerberos,” who refused the order from their officials to disband. It created a symbolic figure at the end of this age. It was a rebellion of watchdogs who had lost their masters. People called it “The Kerberos Uprising.”

Where are you going?

Why are you running away?

“Don't stop fighting!”

You gave me that order!

Are you Japanese?

What do I look like?

L'm Hayashi of the Fugitive Support Group.

It took a while to confirm your identity at headquarters.

As you know, ithas been three years since your group was destroyed.

These days, most people don't even remember the incident anymore.

Excuse me, can I get chow-mein?

Three years ago is just like the day before yesterday.

You must be joking.

You left Japan while on parole. That's a very serious action.

L'll tell you about Koichi Todome, who you requested us to investigate.

After he escaped from Japan, he drifted from South America to Central America...

and finally arrived in this country at the end of last year.

However, he became involved with a local criminal organization...

...and was taken off of our list.

I guess he needed big money.

It's not so uncommon for a refugee.

You must already know...

...but supporters of our organization hate this type of trouble.

Usually, we're not supposed to give out this kind of information.

I don 'l know about her background.

Her name is Tang Mie.

How the mighty have fallen.

I can 't believe that he was once the leader of “Kerberos”...

which terrified an entire metropolis.

He escaped from his country with determination to continue the battle...

...and rebuild his organization, but after all he set out lo do...

Who is it?

Are you looking for Koichi?

Did you come from Japan to find him?

He left here three months ago, and hasn't been back since.

Left?

He took his precious suitcase and was gone.

He left here before and I had to go bring him back every time.

But this time it seems he's gone really far away.

He's still sending me money once a month from Tainan.

I didn't know you had that much money.

I sold the condo.

Sold?

I was planning to hire a private detective to find him.

L'm glad you came. You can save me some time.

L'm not a private detective.

Then there's no charge for this.

Of course, l'm going to pay all the expenses.

I don't know what l'm gonna do to him if I find him first.

Are you going to kill Koichi?

I don't know.

No, you won't!

Why?

You don't look like a bad guy.

How do you know that?

Oh, so you're saying you are a bad guy?

I don't really know.

You don't know anything.

I knew that from the moment I saw you.

I heard that you were dumped by someone before.

What are we going to do now?

Inui!

Why did you come to a place like this?

I had no other place to be.

I smelled my comrade and came to this crowd.

But it seems like there's no place for me to stay here.

L'm still a human inside, even if I was trained to be a dog.

Why are you here?

Me?

I have a purpose.

A Purpose?

L'll tell you sometime.

Do you like to take orders?

Who knows?

I like it.

However...

I want to choose my own master.

Master?

That which I want to be faithful to.

Like a nation or a thought.

There are a lot of those things to choose from...

...but what's best for me is most important.

The only thing we can do is to choose.

I wish we both could find masters who we won't regret.

They are stray dogs.

Someone might have dumped them, or they got lost.

There are so many of them around here.

They co-exist with humans, butfrom a careful distance.

But they'll never open themselves to humans.

They hold a strong grudge against the humans who dumped them...

...but they also miss the smell of their masters so much.

They are eternally ambivalent.

But they're animals no matter what.

They will never know the reason why their master had to dump them.

What are you talking about?

L'm going to talk about an impressive but tragic story about a dog...

...who is looking for his master and his future.

He looked around for the master he imagined...

...running continuously on his bloody feet.

Finally, this faithful dog even climbed over the Rocky Mountains.

But, after he met the master who he had been dreaming of...

...what was really waiting for him?

There is a proper reason why people dump their dogs.
